Impact & commitment

Harnessing biosignals for healthier people, plants & planet

At Vivent Biosignals, we believe plants know best. By decoding their real-time signals, we contribute to healthier people, resilient crops, and thriving ecosystems. Every day, we work to make agriculture more sustainable while delivering measurable value to our clients, with the lowest possible environmental impact.
Our mission
“The company shall have a material positive impact on society and the environment, taken as a whole, through its business and operations.”
As a certified B Corporation, this mission is embedded in our articles of association and guides every decision we make.
B Corp Certification

Vivent became a Certified B Corporation in 2021, achieving one of the highest scores in Switzerland with 101.7 points (compared to a median of 50.9 for ordinary businesses). In May 2025, we proudly achieved recertification with 118.8 points, reaffirming our leadership in sustainable innovation and continuous improvement.

The B Corp assessment covers five key impact areas:

  • Customers
  • Governance
  • Workers
  • Community
  • Environment

To certify, companies must score at least 80 points and provide audited evidence of responsible practices, from energy and water use to employee wellbeing, diversity, and transparency. Today, Vivent is part of a global community of 9,500+ Certified B Corps across 102 countries and 160 industries, working to transform the economy into a force for good. In Switzerland, the movement now counts 280+ active B Corps, supported by B Lab Switzerland’s initiatives.

Measuring our impact

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

We conducted a Life Cycle Assessment of our PSR8 biosensors, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. This gave us a baseline CO₂ footprint to guide improvements in design, recycling, and future iterations. We applied sustainable design principles and learnings from the LCA to design the vita/1. 

Supporting Sustainable Agriculture

Our technology empowers growers to:

  • Save water with autonomous irrigation and early stress detection
  • Cut energy use for heating and pumping
  • Boost yields by reducing crop losses and optimizing growing conditions
  • Reduce and choose environmentally preferable inputs like fertilizers and pesticides through early detection of deficiencies and stressors
  • Protect biodiversity by reducing unnecessary chemical applications
  • Lower carbon footprints across farms and supply chains

Climate change is already reshaping agriculture. From droughts to shifting seasons, farmers face unprecedented challenges. Vivent helps growers adapt and thrive by”

  • Precision and plant driven management of water
  • Accelerating the development of drought-resistant crop varieties and environmentally preferable crop treatments
  • Delivering real-time crop insights that increase resilience to stress and yields
